And Then, There Was Monday

Emilia is going to be okay. Last week was full of worry - she was so sick, and in pain, and doctors could only guess that it was something either totally mundane or wholly terrible and all we could do was keep her comfortable and watch and wait to see if the scariest symptoms would worsen or abate - so full of worry and fear and all those bad things and I could not write (I would not, I should not? The distinction became unclear) and all there was to do was wait.

So we waited. And the symptoms abated over the weekend and the light came back into her eyes and so into ours and phew.

Now I just need to give my head and heart a shake and repeat to myself like a mantra: life is good the world is good things are GOOD. And maybe tomorrow I'll be able to write again.

So glad to read that things are better for your daughter. I've been there... I know the fear and the worry. When my son was really, really sick and in CHEO I didn't even want to talk to my friends, let alone write anything on my blog or on facebook.

I am so relieved that Emilia is getting better. So relieved. Take your time to breathe, and smile, and discover again that the world is good. I look forward to reading in the not too distant future. Enjoy your day! :)

What a relief! It must be strange to have so many virtual strangers (or maybe "virtual" friends is more correct) worried about your daughter. But there it is.

Poor little thing, even if it was "just" the stomach flu I know just how horrible that can be. I was hospitalized for 5 days with that last fall. (Along with my husband who followed a few days later, leaving my sick 2 year old home for first time ever overnight with grandparents.) It was horrible.

So glad to hear. went through a similar thing with my little man recently and know the fear and the utter frustration of not being able to make everything all right. I've been checking for updates and am glad to see one with good news.

holy MARY MOTHER OF GOD ON A PONY!!! how did i miss the video of your son in a tutu dancing in his dancy thing??!! he's obviously happy. and will have no recollection of this aside from being happy, until you show it to his first grade class. that's where the damage would begin, i think.

but that's me. and i don't have any kids. and if/when i do... and if it's a boy? totally dressing him up in a tutu.
